Hi my name is catherine and my mother came from Warrenpoint. She was Sally Dinsmore and lived in Charlottw Street. I have found references to my family (hattie) on the site. We used to come over from scotland every year and stay in Forth Avenue with my uncle geordie.

Welcome Katie, good to have you here. I am sure you will learn a lot about your family. Just a suggestion if I may. When you com across one of those older items, photo or whatever, post a message and that will bring up the item again and might generate some more info for you.
